Made appointment to discuss chest pain over many months. Paid them £69 but they didn’t turn up for the appointment. I contacted them and said they wanted to cancel the appointment as I need to go to the “emergency room” without even seeking me. Wasted an hour.

Total time wasters more likely to cause you ill health than offer you solutions.

I have no hesitation in recommending The GP Service.

The staff were very friendly and I was seen on time.
The procedure was more involved than I anticipated due to previous infection, but the doctor was determined to remove all of the cyst to minimise the chances of it returning. I was shown a photo of the stitches and was impressed with the end result.

I researched several clinics but all the others had prices 'starting from', so it was impossible to know the final cost.

Don’t waste your money!! It’s a scam!!

Don’t waste your money!!! Useless and charging £70 just to tell you to go to the GP. I had an appointment on 11-12-2025. I have a recurrent thrush(I explained that I’ve done the swab and the result was thrush) and I asked for a prescription or another medication . The advisor which I hope is not a doctor started laughing when I said I’m dealing with this for more than a month and I need another medication. After all he said to go to the GP. He thought that I paid £70 just for him to tell me to go to GP :) In the end I asked for a prescription and I explained that I’ve seen this treatment scheme on NHS. After appointment I sent them an email to get the refund as is not possible to be scammed like this but until today I didn’t get any response. I hope they have the conversation recorded as it’s funny to hear the “advisor”:) Very poor service , lack of empathy and knowledge!

Thank you for sharing your feedback and we apologise for your inconvenience.

We would like to clarify that The GP Service is not a scam. We are a registered healthcare service, and all consultations are carried out in line with clinical safety guidelines.

Regarding your refund request, our records show that a payment dispute was initiated through your payment provider. Once a dispute is raised, we are unable to process a refund directly, as the matter must be resolved through the payment provider’s dispute process.

In situations where ongoing or recurrent symptoms are reported, our clinicians may advise a GP or in-person review where appropriate, in the interest of patient safety. This does not diminish the value of the consultation, but reflects responsible clinical decision-making.

If you have any further concerns or would like us to formally review your consultation, please contact us directly at support@thegpservice.co.uk, and our support team will be happy to assist.

Honest doctors

Saw a lady called - Roshni Desai who was most helpful today, provided me with a referral to try and get a deeper understanding of the mechanisms that have led to my ongoing pathology.

most helpful service, I would recommend using them again if you require a same day visit.

The GP I got online had no practical knowledge and did not follow the protocol set by the surgeon general, made bold assumptions and refused to prescribe time sensitive medications.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating this must have been. As an online consultation service, we are required to work within specific clinical guidelines and limitations, particularly as they are unable to conduct physical examinations. This means that in some cases, and certain time-sensitive or high-risk medications may not be prescribed without an in-person assessment, in line with national protocols and patient safety standards.

WARNING: Prescriptions NOT Accepted by Pharmacies – Waste of Time & Potentially Dangerous

I had an extremely bad experience with this online doctor service and feel obligated to warn others.

Around 95% of pharmacies do NOT accept their prescriptions. I personally went to six different pharmacies and every single one refused to dispense the medication because they would not accept the format of the prescription.

During the consultation, the doctor clearly did not understand my issue. I asked multiple follow-up questions directly related to the same problem I booked the appointment for, and instead of answering them, I was repeatedly told I would need to book another paid appointment just to get basic clarification.

After being unable to get the prescription filled anywhere, I tried to contact the company because at that point I genuinely started to worry whether this service was legitimate. They were essentially uncontactable. No meaningful support, no resolution, no accountability.

I then had to go to a proper in-person doctor, who told me that:
• The medication prescribed had nothing to do with my condition
• Taking it could actually have been dangerous for me

That was extremely concerning.

This service cost me:
• Money
• Hours of running between pharmacies
• Significant stress
• And could have resulted in harm if I had blindly followed their advice

If you value your health, time, or sanity, be very cautious. This service is not fit for purpose, and the lack of clinical understanding combined with unusable prescriptions makes it worse than useless.

Avoid.

After not being able to make a same day appointment at my normal GP's I realised I had this service. After completing my health profile in the app I managed to book my apointment within five mins and actually had the appointment 45 mins later. The doctor had a frinedly manner and was very helpful.

I was having a hard time getting a repeat script via NHS which had been stressful, so I made an appointment online with The GP Service. There were some technical issues logging into my account and the staff were very helpful. The process was easy and stress free, the doctor was friendly, kind and understanding. I got my prescription within 10 minutes. I would highly recommend The GP Service to friends and family. Fantastic service.

Dear Mr. Neil,

We are sorry to hear about your experience. Our team assisted you during the connection attempts, but due to a technical issue on your side, the consultation could not be completed and was cancelled. As you later confirmed, no charges were applied for this appointment.

Exactly what I needed

I was back in the UK briefly between two business trips, and I had a sore throat with no temperature. I just needed some medicine in case things got worse in the next few days. The online doctor I saw was very helpful, and the service is very efficient (although there were some computer problems to set it up). For anyone in the same position as I was, I highly recommend the service.

Great service and lovely doctors who are amazing at helping when you can't access your usual doctor. They've rescued me on holidays and at weekends. I can't recommend the lovely Dr Desai enough.
